Abstract :
This study studies second-order consensus of multi-agent systems with noise in a leaderless architecture. Two distributed consensus algorithms are designed and sufficient conditions are established, which character how much the noise intensity or the delay multi-agent systems can stand such that second-order consensus can be reached almost surely for a given coupling strength and topology structure. Simulations are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed consensus algorithms.
